It was a parliamentary borough in the county of Northumberland of the House of Commons of England from 1512 to 1706, then of the House of Commons of Great Britain from 1707 to 1800 and of the House of Commons of the United Kingdom from 1801 to 1885. It returned two Members of Parliament (MPs), elected by the bloc vote system.
It has been a county constituency since 1885, electing one MP under the first-past-the-post system.
Further to the completion of the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, the seat will be expanded to include the town of Morpeth from the (to be abolished) constituency of Wansbeck. Accordingly, it will renamed North Northumberland.
